Works will commence on 09 February and expected to be completed by 13 February. Storage at the FLB in Freetown is also becoming limited, with additional storage space already allocated to incoming cargo. © WFP 16 out of a dedicated fleet of 33 trucks are operational and have been stationed at Moyamba, Makeni, Port Loko, Free- town and Kenema.

  • Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States
    Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States Alexis Arieff Analyst in African Affairs Nicolas Cook Specialist in African Affairs July 16, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40703 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States Summary Guinea is a Francophone West African country on the Atlantic coast, with a population of about 10 million. It is rich in natural resources but characterized by widespread poverty and limited socio-economic growth and development. While Guinea has experienced regular episodes of internal political turmoil, it was considered a locus of relative stability over the past two decades, a period during which each of its six neighbors suffered one or more armed internal conflicts. Guinea entered a new period of political uncertainty on December 23, 2008, when a group of junior and mid-level military officers seized power, hours after the death of longtime president and former military leader Lansana Conté. Calling itself the National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD, after its French acronym), the junta named as interim national president Captain Moussa Dadis Camara, previously a relatively unknown figure. The junta appointed a civilian prime minister and has promised to hold presidential and legislative elections by late 2009. However, some observers fear that rivalries within the CNDD, Dadis Camara's lack of national leadership experience, and administrative and logistical challenges could indefinitely delay the transfer of power to a democratically elected civilian administration. Guinea has never undergone a democratic or constitutional transfer of power since gaining independence in 1958, and Dadis Camara is one of only three persons to occupy the presidency since that time.

This idea rests upon the fact that local border actors, public and private, are the bearers of concrete proposals, cross-border zones are dynamic places, and national peripheries are at the center of regional construction. African organizations for inter-governmental cooperation, particularly ECOWAS1 and WAEMU2, currently support this idea by seeking to expand the scope of regional governance for the implementation of NEPAD3 and the economic partnership agreements with the European Union that were laid out at Cotonou. The project, “cross-border areas4”, currently pursued by the Malian government and neighboring countries represents another example of such initiatives.
